In
order to fulfil its basic objective through synthesizing an amalgam
of academic and practical expertise, the Institution has grouped
its members into several 'Engineering Divisions' according to the
discipline of their expertise. The Institution now has fifteen
'Engineering Divisions' as mentioned alongside.
These Divisions have the mandate to
devote their efforts, individually or jointly with one or more
other Divisions, towards search for new knowledge and product
technologies within their respective or an inter-disciplinary
domain. These Divisions are directed to take active steps to
establish a close liaison between the Institution, its members and
the policy-makers.
In order to broaden and strengthen
the services of the Institution to the technical community and to
the public as well, these Divisions are also directed to actively
encourage research and developmental programmes through various
promotional aids, such as Lectures, Seminars, Symposia, Workshops
and other educational programmes of the like and also the
publications aimed at the dissemination of research results, in
addition to extending technical consultancy and advisory
services.
